Matt Hardy breaks silence on Jeff Hardy's scary injury during recent match in AEW
Matt Hardy recently broke his silence with regards to a scary injury suffered by Jeff Hardy during a match in AEW.
In an episode of the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the former WWE US Champion shared his comments on the recent injury suffered by his brother at the hands of Sammy Guevara. The Charismatic Enigma lost to the Spanish God in a No DQ match on the Feburary 16, 2024 episode of AEW Rampage.
The inadvertent botch saw Guevara accidentally crash his knee into Hardy's face while attempting a shooting star press on the latter. Jeff's brother Matt also shares a violent history with the former TNT Champion, notably taking a dangerous fall on his head during his match against Guevara at AEW All Out 2020.
Speaking on the podcast, Matt Hardy provided an update on Jeff Hardy's injury, confirming previous reports suggesting that Hardy had indeed suffered a broken nose. The North Carolina native also revealed that despite wrestling for decades, Jeff had never broken his nose prior to picking up the injury on Rampage.
"We traveled together. We were on the same flight and we flew home. He was in great spirits. It's funny because he's never broken his nose before, which is insane to think about. Most pro wrestlers, breaking your nose is a pretty standard thing. It happens at some point, especially if you've wrestled for three decades like we have. I felt so bad for him because he had a nice nose and now it's all crooked and jimmied like mine is now. So welcome to the broken nose club, brother." - Hardy said. [H/T - WrestlingNews.co]
